how can christians rationalize hating gays when they worship an obviously gay 'savior'?

Idiots hate homosexuals.

Of course sexuality is not a choice.

It is not Christian to hate others.

Haters will rationalize their position by pulling out Bible verses showing how homosexual conduct is clearly against God's will, forgetting that there are many good Christians who are gay but choose to put aside their sexuality for the glory of God.

Hard it is to make such a choice, hard it is to be a homosexual in this world that condemns them, so Christ calls us to love them, not hate.

HOMOPHOBIA: irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals. - - - - - - - - Please note this is a psychiatric definition!

Primitive religion has always lagged behind the improvement in moral attitudes and that is what these people are doing to Christianity – making it primitive!

There were people who opposed the abolition of slavery, emancipation for women, the banning of discrimination of women, the attempts to eradicate racism and now the need to eradicate homophobia!

Taking one sin to indulge in intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution will never be acceptable in the eyes of God!

Anglican leaders from around the world have clearly stated their opposition to the "victimization or diminishment" of gays and lesbians, saying demonizing and persecuting them was "totally against Christian charity and basic principles of pastoral care".

"We say that no one should have to live in fear because of the bigotry of others."

The Mormons poured millions into forcing through prop 8 in CA: to ban gay marriage. In August 2010 the court held that to be unconstitutional. On 15 June 2011 the San Francisco court upheld that decision because it violates the constitutional rights of citizens. On 7 February 2012 the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck the California law again finding that the California state constitution banning same-sex marriage violated principles of due process and equal protection under the law.

The court found that the ban violates equality laws to target a minority group and withdraw a right that it possessed, without a legitimate reason for doing so. Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California. The constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort.

The Supreme Court upheld the early court decision. Thus anyone married in any state or country where gay marriage is legal is legally married in all American states and most countries in the world!

Gay marriage is now legal virtually everywhere and that will be marriage and not civil partnership!

In the UK The intolerance, bigotry and homophobia from Christians resulted in it being classed as a hate crime with severe sentences. It has led to the government framing legislation which if enacted will replace "Civil Partnership" with full marriage. France, New Zealand, Spain and ten other countries have legalized gay marriage and others have commenced legislating to do so!

The loving god works in mysterious ways.

Christians can't. We aren't supposed to hate. I find it quite stupid for a Christian to hate. I don't agree with it but I am not going to bash it. I hope I didn't offend any body.

gay is a choice no hear me out (thanks)

you might have attraction to people of your gender but you still have to choose to act on those feelings. you have to choose to go to a gay bar and then choose to ask that hot stud at the bar if they want a dance or a chat.

breathing, eating, and excreting are not a choice. everything else is.

personally I do not care as long as you don't scare the horses.

and what's this deal with straight people? they are the ones that produce the homosexuals. if you want the gayness to end do not have kids as you never know one of them could grew up to be gay

If you like gays, and are a Christian, then you're a bad Christian, because you don't follow your own holy book. I'm just saying.

All who say that homosexuality isn't a sin, only acting in your homosexuality is, you need to stop wasting your useless lives being homophobic douchbags and go learn how to be nice, isn't that what it says in your holy book.

When the religious fought to preserve slavery, the bible supported them.

When they fought against the patriots, in the revolutionary war, the bible told them that god gave the King the right to rule.

When they finally give up on the gays they will discover someone new they can hate and deny the bible ever said that they should hate gays.

They use the bible, but they don't listen to it.

Jesus wasn't gay, he's fictional.

I have read Gnostic texts that suggest Jesus had a homosexual relationship.

Namaste

Well few "hate" Gays. They disapprove of their sexual activities, their desire to be accepted (when their belief system says that they can't accept their activities), and their desire to change our culture and be "married". Now some extremists believe and do stupid things as extremists in most groups do.
